ROSE: Nothing yet.ROSE: But reasonably soon, within a certain window, it will be time to leave.ROSE: We will then pilot this meteor as fast as we can make it go in that exact direction.SOLLUX: what's that way?ROSE: Nothing whatsoever.ROSE: As of now, that way lies darkness and uncertainty beyond description.KANAYA: I SeeKANAYA: Then Perhaps We Should Reserve The Infinite Darkness Plan For The Maybe Column For NowKANAYA: I Think Im Even Willing To Let Dave Take A Crack At The Logistics Before We Commit To That Particular Maneuver Daring Though It SoundsDAVE: aw yeahDAVE: i got sicknasty logistics up my sleeveDAVE: i just call them stics fyi which is how you know im way savvy about themDAVE: most of the stics im fine tuning atm involve rap though i should warn youDAVE: but dave what if that dope as hell plan falls through i can hear you askDAVE: plan bDAVE: involves drawing some shitty cartoonsDAVE: and not giving a fuck about stuffTEREZI: >8DTEREZI: 1 H3R3BY S3COND TH1S COOL DUD3S R4D1C4L MOT1ON ON GROUNDS OF R1D1CULOUSLY D3C4D3NT 4TT1R3KANAYA: Yes Im Willing To Humor Elaboration On This Rap Centric Plan And Its Apathy Based ContingenciesKANAYA: Even If Its Excessively StupidROSE: Trust me, it is.ROSE: Just as you should trust me that by the time we leave, if we leave exactly within the designated window and are able to travel at nearly the speed of light, the meteor will trace a route through the Furthest Ring which will topologically resolve as a straight line.ROSE: It will lead us directly to the new session.ROSE: For a brief moment, the sun will be visible from that session.ROSE: And we will be riding the chartreuse coattails of its photons.ARADIA: this is why you all needed an advanced seer!ARADIA: i have become familiar with the ways of the fabric out here but even i couldnt chart a journey that long or complexROSE: That's because it's almost impossible to do so voluntarily.ROSE: If we were to head right now in the session's true physical direction, it wouldn't be long before we found ourselves traveling in just the opposite direction.ROSE: This is not even to speak of the chronological peculiarities. After traveling some distance, we could discover we were suddenly tailgating our own meteor from several days ago.ROSE: If we are particularly unfortunate, we might even collide in an intersection of spacetime with a meteor piloted by our future selves.ROSE: And if we looked closely at that meteor before impact, we might notice a very large dent in it, which it originally suffered during the very collision we were about to experience.ROSE: It takes precision and timing to reach your destination out here, and most importantly, the grace of the gods themselves.KARKAT: PPPFFUUUUUUUHHHHHHH.........

Here is a quick look at the way this project has been shaping up. Whew, that is a nice looking game! Not going to lie, I am on some big time tenterhooks in anticipation of this release. I've actually started doing stunts on the tenterhooks, flipping around on them wildly, like a gymnast. It's an astounding spectacle of physical endurance and might. Sorry you can't check this out, it's absolutely unreal.

What else have I been up to? I sense that this has been being wondered about. Some I suspect wonder about the epilogue I mentioned, which I have been making some notes on here and there. But otherwise have been deferring in favor of attention to ~other projects~ which strike me as more pressing. It will be gotten around to. If you are wondering which of these projects may be related to Homestuck, I did have some "post-canon content" planned for later this month. That is as specific as I can be for now. Tune in here, let's say, a couple weeks from now.

The project that has occupied the lion's share of my professional time is one that you will understand completely why I have prioritized, when you eventually see it. Arguably it will prove to be the only relevant work of art in human history. I don't wish to give anything else away, or delay your experience of this unprecedented triumph of the human spirit. So instead I will light a fire under my ass, and attempt to deliver the content I know you have all been craving.

What else to report? Hmm. I know that usually the passage of time for creative individuals is tracked by the hours they spend which ultimately contribute to creative products which may be consumed. It is far from true that all of my hours this year have been applied that way. Suffice to say I've been on some strange adventures. I doubt I can do any of them justice here, in a newspost which is rapidly running out of words I'm willing to type. At one point I was thrown out of a stable. I've probably said too much already. Well, see you next time.

The final Homestuck album Volume 10 has been released. More fantastic music by many familiar names who have contributed to the comic over the years. Thanks to all who came together to make this. It's a great way to cap off an impressive discography, now standing at 27 albums.
